Kids got talent,but needs to bulk uo 5-8kgs to play 1st grade...I was surprised he didnt do so in off season.
Just too attractive a target for oppostion attacks to roll over the top of,plus weve got one of these already in the 6 jersey

I said last week give the kid a chance, I mean did you think Manly were going to drop Cherry Evans after 1 full first grade game? he will get better and better and he is a REAL halfback not a Sheens special

Agreed, last week was a bad game to judge him from, our forwards got completely dominated and we had no ball at all. It's hard for a halfback to do anything when they have so little ball, and when they do have it, they have it deep inside their own half with forwards out on their feet. Andrew Johns would've been useless for us last week playing halfback.

he needs to eat whatever maraki is eating and put on some kgs. Got rag dolled a bit out there today. But his game and input is improving ten fold each week. be great to see him in 5-6 rounds and then look back to last weeks performance and say to the doubters "see, told you so"

He weighs in at 85kg, 3-4kg wouldn't go astray. But he and benji are actually not a half bad defensive pair. Benji has copped a lot of criticism for his defence in previous years, and rightly so. But he has lifted his defensive game to another level. Albeit from liability to solid, it means that teams will eventually learn that benji is not the go to man to make breaks on. Lawrence probably will be, a lot of missed tackles from him i believe.

Miller is also decent in defence, has heart and puts his body on the line. At worst he'll slow the player down, not like some tackles from moltz where he barely stops the attacker moving. Also, several women have commented on how good looking he is, so that is a definite plus
